We certainly need a lot of help and guidance as we embark on this adventure. I just hope that 8 years from now I can say that this has had a positive impact on our school culture. I will check out the two links you shared.Bulldog Principalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451276532504214084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715871351369075354.post-87946280558350357642011-02-23T13:24:14.387-05:002011-02-23T13:24:14.387-05:00You are so right.

Please look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx4xnkFY4Ck&amp;feature=related and at Yarmouth High School on http://wiki.wesfryer.com/videos We have been 1:1 for 8 years and it has had a significant impact on teaching and learning. It has positively changed our school culture. We do not teach technology, rather we give students many kinds of learning opportunities from paper and pencil to global collaboration. But we are constantly tweaking and changing and looking at out practice. Our students have played a major part in this shift. Give teachers plenty of help and involve students from the beginning. The 5th graders deserve to continue using the classroom tools they are used to.Alice Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091030500622147795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715871351369075354.post-80352622890643325492011-02-22T23:15:52.588-05:002011-02-22T23:15:52.588-05:00Goreat post.

I recently attended the TCEA conference, and the message delivered by Leigh Anne Tuohy (played by Sandra Bullock in the &quot;Blind Side&quot;) was developing 1:1 relationships before you focus on 1:1 devices (http://www.k12mobilelearning.com/?p=1771).Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089232788586030600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715871351369075354.post-79756689928140143222011-02-22T22:53:42.204-05:002011-02-22T22:53:42.204-05:00You are right; if you are going to go 1:1, you bet...You are right; if you are going to go 1:1, you better be ready for it. We have just recently done this and with our 5 and 6 students, but we basically created a plan on how we would collaborate, communicate, and create with our students before we got the technology. That plan is going to expand as there is only so much that you can do in the planning, and there is more that can be done in the process, but we will never know if it really works if we don&#39;t try it right?George Couroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253972152649235179noreply@blogger.com
